Watch Dogs: Legion

The third installment of Ubisoft‘s Watch Dogs series is finally here! In Watch Dogs: Legion, the people of London are at your fingertips-literally! It is your job to recruit individuals to join DedSec as you fight back against the oppressive forces of Albion. Each character features a different background with unique traits and abilities that you can use to hack your way into cyber freedom! And fans of the previous titles can look forward to an Aiden Pearce DLC, and even the return of Watch Dogs 2‘s Wrench. Watch Dogs: Legion looks like it will provide a fresh new spin on the franchise. The fact that EVERY NPC can be controlled and recruited to your team is incredibly innovative, and all of us at GGA can’t wait to see if it lives up to the hype! 

Watch Dogs: Legion will release on October 29, 2020 for PS4, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and PC through the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope

October is the best month for spooky games, and Supermassive Games is here to make it even scarier. The second installment of their highly popular horror franchise is finally here. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope is the second of eight stories told by the mysterious Curator. This time a group of college students finds themselves stranded in the mysterious town of Little Hope, which has connections with witch-hunting. Things seem to be going okay until the group witnesses the execution of settlers who look exactly like them. They must uncover the root of all the evil that has infested Little Hope in order to make it back out alive. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan was one of those horror games that continued to keep me on the edge of our seat. We have such high hopes that the next installment will do the same.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope will arrive on October 30, 2020 for PC through Steam, PS4, and Xbox One.
